B&B never makes it into published daily top 20 in Australia, so viewership has to be less than 200,000 - that doesn't have to be bad in Australia. I guess it's doing alright or Ten would have moved it to a more unpopular timeslot. In France Amour, Gloire et Beauté airs at 9:30 am. It got around 400,000 viewers which is good. There have been a few days B&B beat Y&R in viewers which is great because Feux de l’Amour was the biggest US daytime soap in France for decades - since Santa Barbara was cancelled, but Y&R is doing worse each year getting shipped earlier in the day, but nothing helps to save it. I got no idea how daytime soaps are sold worldwide. Does Sweden where B&B is subbed has to pay the same for it like Italy where it's dubbed? In Germany B&B was cancelled when ratings dropped, but a big problem was that unlike other US primetime shows you couldn't use B&B in repeats and you had to pay voice actors for 250 episodes a year instead the usual 22 episodes for a primetime show.</blockquote>
